Features of the structure of curly hair
When comparing different strands, there are significant differences in their structure. If in straight and coarse hair types the cross section has an ideal round shape, then in curls it is an ellipse or oval. The more flattened the hair, the more pronounced its curl.

The looser porous structure of curly strands, in contrast to straight types, makes them vulnerable to adverse external influences.
The configuration of the bulbs also affects the nature of the hairline. Due to the bent follicle, waves appear on the hair. If the structure of the bulbs is even, then the strands will be straight.
Curly curls are inherited. However, curly hair can appear due to the influence of negative factors, for example, hormonal imbalance, a serious illness, and the use of chemicals when washing your hair.
How to wash, dry and comb the strands
Knowledge of the characteristics of curly strands allows you to effectively and timely care for them, while maintaining elasticity, silkiness, and natural shine.
For washing, purchase a shampoo that matches the type of hairline. There are several important rules to follow:

- the required amount of shampoo is applied to the roots, lightly massaged to remove fat;
- balm or conditioner is evenly distributed throughout the hair. No need to use shampoo from the range of "two in one".
Wet curls must be dried carefully. They are not rubbed with a towel, but every strand is blotted. If there is enough time, then dry them in the air without a hair dryer. And when using the device, a cool jet is directed to the roots.
Comb curls after drying. Rare-toothed combs made of tortoise shell or wood are used. Pre-spray spray, focused on facilitating combing.
Observing an interval of three months, the tips should be trimmed. This procedure prevents their section. Hairstyles are recommended to be worn without tight weaving. It is dangerous to often use irons to straighten curls.
